Termed a “die adjustment strike” this error is caused when the coin is struck with a lower than optimal pressure resulting in uniform strike weakness. This might be when operators are adjusting the coin press at the beginning of a production run or could be caused by a press malfunction. 5.6 grams. Supplied in an archival Saflip.
